Show Directory

Show Directory -argument

Description: Lists all database files (for example, NSF and NTF) on a Domino server and specifies whether the server contains multiple replicas of a database.

Tip From the IBM® Lotus® Domino® Administrator, click the Files tab to view a list of all database files in the data directory.

Arguments:

-unread -- Shows the database name; software version; transaction log status; modification time; status of unread marks replication (off or on); and whether unread marks replicated to all servers, never replicated, replicated to clustered servers, or if the software version does not support replicating unread marks. Sample output is shown here:

DbName                    Version  Logged  ---Modified Time----
e:\notefile\mail.box      V6:43    N/A     07/11/2008 05:10:13 PM

The third argument, -daosonly, must be used in combination with either of the two other arguments and be the last argument on the line. It limits the databases listed to only those participating in DAOS.

daos -- Shows the database name; software version; transaction log status; status of Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS) -- Yes for enabled, No for not enabled, Read for read/write or read only; and modification time. Sample output is shown here:

DbName                             Version Log  DAOS ---Modified Time----

Total files: 6

-daos -- Shows the database name; software version; transaction log status; modification time; and status of Domino Attachment and Object Service (DAOS). If the status is Read Only, shows number of objects stored in the DAOS repository; total number of bytes stored in DAOS; and last time DAOS resynchronized references for the database. Sample output is shown here:

You can also use the Show Directory command to check which databases have transactional logging enabled.

To see only logged databases, enter this command at the console:

show dir *log

show dir *nolog
